Caliban is outside, actually, sitting by the lake and rather deep in thought, though it's not clear even to him whether he's happy or not, knees drawn up to his chest and staring at the water, pitching rocks every so often.

He's kind of wanting to see people, actually - he's feeling better than he usually does. Probably because of the brother.

Speak of the devil, here's a brother, standing right behind you, Cal.

[emocaliban]

He looks up before he gets there and half grins. "You know you can't sneak up on me."

[ninja_niko]

"That nose of yours." He pokes him.

[emocaliban]

Cal pokes him back. "Yep, pretty much."

[tomboy_22]

Anita certainly isn't sneaking up on him. She'll just plop by and smile. "Hey, kiddo."

[emocaliban]

He gives her a little sort of smile back. "Hey."

[tomboy_22]

She puts a companionable arm around his shoulders. "Brooding again?"

[emocaliban]

"No, just thinking."

Maybe a little.

And here's a Robin - actually up a tree, looking down. He throws a rock in the lake with a sploch.

[emocaliban]

Cal looks up and chucks a rock at him, purposefully missing. "You trying to get me wet, or was that an unintentional side effect?" Dry as all hell.

[rob_fellows]

"You look like you could use a shower." Robin laughs, a little, before he jumps off his perch.

[emocaliban]

"Oh, please, I bet I'm cleaner than you. I've got Mr. Clean himself on my ass."

Sugar is taking a walk, a clinging Sophie in tow. She'll come by and sit next to Cal, silently, and slip her hand in his. Sophie is clinging to Sugar, more than usual.

[emocaliban]

Caliban tightens his hand on hers and gives Sophie a little smile.

[crimson_sugar]

Sugar sighs, and brushes the little girl's hair - Sophie's face is almost completely buried in Sugar's skirts, and she looks at her guardian before she looks at Cal again.

"Good afternoon." Sugar's rich voice is quiet, tender.

[emocaliban]

He looks a little worried. "...hey. Are you okay, Sophie?"
